They execute very slowly, if they execute at all. Sometimes they just freeze after a few minutes.
I own Duron, 1GHz, 256 MB RAM, WinXP.
How to make them execute normally? Would installing Win98 (on another disk partition) solve anything?

Vedran,

There's a Win95 compatibility mode checkbox somewhere in the icon properties. Have you checked that? It reduces many of the problems, apparently.

You might wander over to the Wizards & Warriors Forum and look at the Technical Answers thread. It covers a number of things for W&W that might help you, including things to change or look at to make W&W run on XP (which the publishers think can't be done [img]smile.gif[/img] ).

And I suspect a couple of the other folks might have some ideas for you as well.

You may want to install MSDOS 6.22 on another partition...the DOS that comes with Windows isn't the full version. Im not too sure about XP...

You could always install Win3.1 (ah, memories...), that might work...

Ehh if they are DOS games they probably won´t work on winXP at all. XP uses win32 programs and DOS is not compatible with that. Our tech thread is great but in this case it won´t help you (W&W is a win32 program). What you can do is to get a DOS-emulator and try to run the game through that or try running the game in a RAM drive, which you "create" by booting from a win98 bootdisk. Someone posted about vmdsound which will help you with the sound; unfortunately it won´t start your game. Abandon Loader is the only DOS emulator I know of. Abandon loader

Edit: Yes a win98 partition would help, but you would need that as your primary partition.
